13:55:45Bikebeing able to use defmethod for that would require some additional extension i haven't thought much about either, though. like leeting a defmethod specify a method class.
14:05:57beachI am not sure my solution solves every problem, but I was convinced that it solved all the problems indicated in their paper.
14:06:34beachSo at some point, I'll re-read your post and try to understand it in the context of my paper.
14:07:26beachHow can you have methods of different classes on the same generic function?
14:07:40beachWhat would GENERIC-FUNCTION-METHOD-CLASS return then?
14:10:53Bikei mean, it happens in even standard code. you can have a generic function with accessor methods and non-accessor methods.
14:11:20Bikethe gf-method-class is the "default" method class
14:13:25Bikeit's not more complicated than the current situation. it's just not particularly easier
14:14:06beachI see. But your post attempts to make it easier?
14:15:13Bikea little bit. it's supposed to make the method invocation protocol dependent almost only on the method. but i don't talk about defmethod extensions or anything.
